Sign of Fall

Last night when the temps outside for hovering around 50 degrees and the rain was falling in buckets, we were cozy and warm inside enjoying our first blazing fire of the fall season. It didn't take long for the pets to figure out where the cozy spot was:

And like the rest of us, the heat from the fireplace had them sound asleep within minutes! Cooper was so out, that he didn't even know that Ethel was right behind him! Ethel thought it was worth the risk to be cozy and warm. I love a hot fire and I'm very thankful for the 2 cords of wood that is stacked outside promising to keep us warm through the winter.

On a different note, there is a bit of family drama happening around here and my buddy Sherry sent me this quote:

I can't control the waves, but I can learn to surf!

So that is my new motto --- it might even make it to vinyl and up onto my wall! I also was reminded that obstacles, drama, and stress make us stronger --- I've decided that I'm strong enough and don't need any more opportunities to grow stronger!

We aren't turning on the furnace and no fire in the fireplace yet either. Where did your wood come from? We can't seem to find a supplier with a decent price. We bought a little bit of wood to get us started, we need a ton more...I don't want p s e getting our money this year!!!

My name is Kim and I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my wonderful husband and energetic kids! I am never without a good photo opportunity and that is what fuels my scrapbooking obsession! I am blessed to have a family of friends in the industry that support me and make me smile every day. Thank you for stopping by and I hope I inspire you! Make sure you create some everyday -- after all -- art is the only way to run away without leaving your house!
